A Quick Guide to Wedding Flower Arrangements

Weddings are planned for months, sometimes, years ahead of schedule. And with the hustle and bustle of planning a wedding, whether it be a large or intimate event, one of the most tedious and exciting tasks is choosing the right flower or flower combination for the appropriate flower arrangement. Good thing there are reliable flower delivery online shops readily accessible for brides and wedding planners to look at and choose from. If you think bridal bouquets are the only "flower arrangement" to think about, think again. Here are the four key arrangements one must consider for the "BIG" day.

1. Bridal Bouquets

If the bride is the beautiful centerpiece of a wedding ceremony, so is the bridal bouquet - in terms of wedding flower arrangements, that is. Bridal bouquets can be shaped and arranged as round, loose, crescent , cascade, oval and heart. It can be purely white with a touch of green leaves and filled with calla lilies, stephanotis or vendela roses. It can also be filled with monochromatic flowers, all single-hued and shades of varying degree, like hydrangeas, lilies, and gerbera daisies

2. Bridesmaid Bouquets

The shape and color of the bridesmaid bouquets can either complement or contrast with the bride's own. They should be coordinated with the bridal bouquet and not outshine it. Their bouquets can be tied in with a formal and traditional theme or a more fun and colorful design. It can be filled with wildflowers of various types and textures like miniature dianthus, blue mountain thistle, heather, and celosia. For a more contemporary flair (and more budget-friendly), a group of carnation, chrysanthemum and snapdragon can be created to add a modern vibe to the theme.

3. Centerpieces

Wedding florists are being more inventive and creative with table centrepieces.  There are plenty of ideas online flower delivery services can recommend aside from the traditional wedding mix of blooms. One can opt for an exciting pop of color by using gerbera daisies or flower-filled crystal goblets  by mixing roses, tulips, and button mums.

4. Boutonnieres

Who says flowers are only for the female? Boutonnieres, or a single flower or bud serving as a floral decoration, are made for and worn by the groom and groomsmen. These are the least expensive flower arrangement in a wedding but still adds a classic and special style to the event.  A groom’s boutonniere can be a smaller version of the bridal bouquet to match. Some of the most popular choices for a boutonniere are celosia, thistle and orchids.
